Utter nonsense, Glitch.
READ the GAO report, for Pete's sake. Why don't you people ever READ before you open your mouths (or type)? Geez...
From PAGE 1 (for Pete's sake!) of the GAO Report:
Upon Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen’s resignation on April 10, 2019, the official who
assumed the title of Acting Secretary had not been designated in the order of
succession to serve upon the Secretary’s resignation. Because the incorrect official
assumed the title of Acting Secretary at that time, subsequent amendments to the
order of succession made by that official were invalid and officials who assumed
their positions under such amendments, including Chad Wolf and Kenneth
Cuccinelli, were named by reference to an invalid order of succession.
Neither Wolf,, nor Cuccinelli were appropriately installed at DHS at the time then-Secretary (Nielson) resigned her position. Therefore, neither was officially in the line of succession (as required by statute). Therefore both of their appointments were not valid.
Sorry, facts win. You lose, again.
Next time....READ, before opining.
Where does Article II, Section 2, Clause 3 of the US Constitution state that appointments must be made at the time the position is vacated? Nor do any statutes override the authority of the US Constitution. Don't look now, but your leftist indoctrination is showing - yet again. Both appointments are constitutionally valid, and will remain in position until: 1) The end of the Session on January 3, 2021; or 2) the Senate gets around to actually confirming them.
